I love dirt

The Basic Grey Challenge this week is One for the Boys. I love this Sugar Nellie and use it alot on cards for my daughter's preschool friends. I have however decided to make this card for my brother!
I have used Basic Grey Archiac papers and rub ons and follwed this week's Lili of the Valley sketch. I rotated the sketch and replaced the text circle and flowers with pebble rub-ons and added my own text below -call it poetic licence!
I watercoloured Hamish and cut and layered him using my nesties. The circles are also cut with my nesties. I inked the edges in dark brown papermania ink. Really simple, just took me a long time due to a kitten chasing the lolly stick while I was adding the rub ons!!
